"Dem Bones" (also called "Dry Bones" and "Dem Dry Bones") is a spiritual song. The melody was composed by author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson (18711938) and his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson.[1] First recorded by The Famous Myers Jubilee Singers in 1928. Both a long and a shortened version of the song are widely known. The lyrics are inspired by Ezekiel 37:114, where the prophet Ezekiel visits the "Valley of Dry Bones"[2] and prophesies that they will one day be resurrected at God's command, picturing the realization of the New Jerusalem.
